Seven-hundred-ten

A few days ago I was having some work done at my local garage. A blonde came in and asked for a seven-hundred-ten. We all looked at each other and another customer asked, “What is a seven-hundred-ten?” She replied, “You know, the little piece in the middle of the engine. I have lost it and need a new one.” She replied that she did not know exactly what it was, but this piece had always been there. The mechanic gave her a piece of paper and a pen and asked her to draw what the piece looked like. She drew a circle and in the middle of it wrote 710. He then took her over to another car which had its hood up and asked, “Is there a 710 on this car?” She pointed and said, “Of course, it’s right there.”

Cat baffles owner

A cat baffles his owner by waiting to be collected by car every morning at exactly the same time and place. The cat goes out every night from his owner’s home. The next morning the 12 years old cat can always be found waiting on a pavement 1.5 miles away.

The cat disappeared one day. His owner began telephoning her neighbours to see if anyone had seen him. An elderly women called back to say she had found the cat on the pavement outside her house. The owner collected him but within days he vanished again. The cat turned up in the same place. A routine has now become established. Each morning she takes her son to school before collecting her cat on the way back. She also makes the trip at weekends and during school holidays.
